We've decided to change the launch date from January 17th to a week later on January 24th. We'd like to have a solid launch with more bug fixes and more time to polish as well as add some new content. The BETA will continue until we launch.

I am in full support of this. Even though fantastic progress has been made - I have noticed no stability issues since the last patch - I agree there a still a few bugs that need to be cleared up. I was a little worried that you guys would be unprepared, and after seeing the ridiculous comments from some people in the past few days over the state of a BETA, you are wise to give yourselves a little more time.
